Nokia promised offline voice-guided OVI maps navigation to all nokia smartphones. Free. FOREVER. post-advertising, I think nokia has confirmed that the N900 is one of the devices for this feature

nokia doesnt promise ****. Unless they have it scheduled specifically in a release, their word means nothing.

If you expect turn by turn navigation, either BUY the sygnic software or SELL your n900 and BUY a phone that provides turn by turn.

So pay extra for turn by turn OR sell your phone and buy another.

Your choice.

Anything else is a waste of time.

Or install a free N900 application that does support it, like Mappero. Granted, I haven't actually tested/needed it yet. But I trust the word of a developer over that of a PR dude who's only paid to tell you what you want to hear.

My point is to Nokia their "word" means nothing. They advertise full flash too but now from what quole is saying flash 10.1 aint coming to the n900.

Unless the change is explicitly scheduled in a release (i.e. Qt). Assume it is NOT coming regardless of what Nokia has "promised".

As many have said here, if you are not happy with the n900 NOW, SELL it and buy another phone because you cannot assume Nokia will provide ANY future support. Their pattern of past behaviour has proved this is the case.

If I am not happy with the N900, but it is still the best device for me right now, am I allowed to keep it? And point to its flaws on these forums? And use these forums to try to improve it?

I am happy with my N900, I'm just not happy with the fact that Nokia is its father

the point just about nokia support for n900, really its too weak, no basics like real map app, too long time to get few updates,

i think nokia will never get real software updates for n900, almost nokia will release new Ovi with turn by turn but for new device that's comes next the n900, maybe with meego

they in nokia play with software features (maps, mms, real 3G support ..etc) to enable - disable as a marketing strategy to release more devices and get more sales.
